Multilevel forwards no longer supported?

My ISP just upgraded to cPanel 11 (I don't know what version they used to have - I presume 10, but I don't know for sure).

In the most recent changes to email forwarding, the model has changed. cPanel is now evaluating forwards at the time they are created. This doesn't allow me to create multi-level forwards, which are very useful in managing a organization.

When someone tells me their email address has changed, I previously just had to find their role (i.e. Editor) and update their email, rather than searching all of the forwards for all of the places where their email address appears, and changing each one.

I would hope you would change the Forwards model back to allow multilevel forwarding as before.

I was disappointed to see the new system too. I have a domain that is FamilyLastName.com, and a user named robert. His email forwards offsite to a gmail account, but he uses the robert@familylastname.com as his primary contact email.

I had it set up with robert@familylastname -> robert@gmail, but then I also had nicknames forwarding to the real name like bob, rob, bobby, robby (as he does occasionally get mistyped emails from people who misheard him or who know him by a different name)

Now, if she moves from gmail to a different account (work, isp, school), I have to update a half dozen forwarders to point to the new address.

I understand that it is there "for own own protection" to prevent against mail loops like user1->user2->user

There should be a checkbox labeled "I swear, I'm not a moron" that would enable the old system.
